A line of android models created by Charles Weyland, and seen prominently in the movie "Aliens". Bishop is a highly advanced synthetic human who accompanies a military team to the planet LV-426 to wipe out an alien infestation. He primarily works as a driver or pilot, as is shown in the movie when he hovers a dropship above a landing in order to save Ellen Ripley from being killed by an alien queen.

The phrase "to bishop" means to surrepticiously grasp another person's bottom, on the pretext of "just brushing past". It derives from 16th century drinking dens in the City of London, where clergy would seek illicit sexual thrills with an immediate and plausible claim of innocence if caught.
